Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

In the night, Roland walked towards his apartment.

Looking at the quiet city, Roland felt a little nostalgic. The mortal time after he first obtained the spirit was nothing compared to his subsequent experiences, but perhaps it was because that naive stupidity still remained in him. In his heart, he felt a different kind of comfort in such a scene.

Yingman's real name still held his hand obediently, but did not bother him at this time. Anyway, for her, as long as she could be with Roland, she would be happy no matter what.

However, this harmonious atmosphere did not last long before it was broken by another heavy breath.

It was a tall man with half his body hidden in the darkness.

He looks like a middle-aged man in his forties, with an incredible sense of oppression like a rock.

On the man's face, there was anguish that Roland had only seen in Kotomine Kirei, but the nature of the two was completely different. Kotomine Kirei's body was numb due to emptiness and pain.

The distress shown by this man is more like a concrete characteristic of living in hell.

This suspicious man did not stand in front of Roland, but he also did not deliberately hide his intentions. He just stood at a certain distance and stared at Roland silently, playing the role of an observer.

"Araya Zongren."

Roland called out the man's identity and showed a somewhat surprised expression.

In the entire story of Sky Realm, the other party plays the role of the mastermind behind the scenes, and its importance is second only to the two rituals themselves.

As a monk of the Tendai Sect, his original wish was to save mankind, but in the process, like Emiya Kiritsugu, he began to become possessed by demons and went to the other extreme, abandoning his faith and stepping into the devil's path, becoming a demon. became a magician.

Although his qualifications are very ordinary, there is no doubt that Soren Araya is talented. He once studied under the same teacher as Aozaki Orange, and showed characteristics that made Aozaki Orange extremely fearful.

Until now, regarding Araya Soren's attitude, Aozaki Orange still maintains the cautious attitude of 'If the other party doesn't provoke her, she will never take the initiative to provoke the other party'.

If Aozaki Orange pursues the prototype of the body, then Soren Araya hopes to pursue the prototype of the soul, and what can best be called the prototype of the soul is undoubtedly the origin of human beings.

In terms of talent in this area, he is not inferior to Aozaki Orange. He not only successfully awakened his own origin, but also developed the technology to awaken the origin of others.

Through his own origin called 'Stillness', he has lived for more than two hundred years now.

But this is still not enough. In the long process of pursuing salvation, everything he has experienced and the passage of time have caused him to lose that part of him as a human being. Instead, he believes that human beings should not be saved, but should be brought to an end. In various contradictory issues Under the impact of this, he eventually became a most typical magician.

That is, use the omnipotent ‘root’ to find your own answers.

From this perspective, he is purer than traditional magicians like Tokiomi Tohsaka who have inherited the family path.

Roland was already accustomed to Araya Zongren's existence and past, but what really surprised him was another thing.

Is the current timeline wrong?

Aozaki Yuko's Kalan-no-do has just opened, and it's unclear whether the monk's base has been completed or not. Now, the monk can only lay out chess pieces, even if the only one who might have some connection is Asagami Fujinoren. I haven't even gone to high school, and there is still a lot of time before I actually encounter tragedy.

The most important thing is that the two rituals, who are the real protagonists of the story, are not unconscious yet, right?

How can this guy have time to take a walk late at night if he doesn't work around breaking the balance of yin and yang in the other person and allowing the true path to emerge?

"Master... you don't seem to like the guy who is staring at us. Do you want to kill him?"

Yingman's real name let go of Roland's hand, surrounded by a faint blue halo, exuding ripples like ripples, and stepped gracefully in the direction of Araya Soren, raising a slender jade finger.

The hem of the dress danced lightly with the girl's movements, highlighting the girl's beautiful figure even more in the hazy night.

Roland did not stop him, but continued to observe Araya Soren's movements. It was impossible for the other party not to see the terrifying oppression under Yingman's real name's weak appearance.

When facing this kind of enemy, whether it is to come forward to communicate, take the first step to launch a counterattack, or directly escape, it is a normal choice.

But Araya Soren still stood still, just staring at Yingman Manname, who seemed to be about to attack at the next moment, even more dull than the dolls Roland had seen before.

It's as if he is just a prop without consciousness and will not trigger any dialogue until he encounters a specific event.

He seemed to have no reason to contact Roland, but he was forced to show up for some reason.

Not interested in me? As the mastermind behind the scenes, even if the plan is not interfered with, it is necessary to include factors that may cause accidents within the scope of observation. So, is there anyone more attractive to Araya Soren than me?

"Wait, real name."

Roland stopped Yingman's real name movement, and an idea flashed in his mind.

Yes, it exists.

He found that he had fallen into a misunderstanding. When there was a change in the original timeline, it was the wisest choice to attribute it to the mastermind behind the scenes, but it was not absolute.

Compared with other masterminds behind the scenes, Araya Soren is quite amiable. He will gradually increase the difficulty level of the trial given to the protagonist. While achieving the goal, he must carefully ensure the safety of the other party.

In this process, he was the passive one. When the two were unconscious in the original book, he was willing to wait for the other party to wake up before re-arranging the chess pieces like a trial.

As the owner of the Stationary Origin, Araya Soren will not be disturbed by anything outside the plan. Just like just now, he does not intend to create the opportunity for complicated situations before Yingman's true name clearly launches an attack.

In other words, the reason for the abnormality of the timeline and the difference in performance between Araya Soren and the original work is not with himself. He is just a person who is at a loss as the target changes, but because he has already embarked on the path At the gambling table, there is no way to end the game. I can only put everything on the line and go to stud like an avid gambler.

Roland looked at Araya Zonglian with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

"I see, you are just a passive {responder}."

Crimson light flashed in Roland's eyes and spread quickly.

That glorious road without any abnormalities was laid out like this in the street next to Araya Zongren, but this seeker was as afraid of it as a snake and a scorpion, and was unwilling to even take that small step. It seemed like if you walked up there, something terrible would happen.

"Then, the reason that allows you to come out late at night is enough to prove that {she} is here, right?"

Roland walked up to Yingman's real name, his tone seemed to be asking, but he had a sense of certainty as if he was stating the facts.

Following Roland's words and precise gesture of heading towards the road ahead, Araya Soren, who had been as calm as an observer before, spoke.

"Knowing my name and controlling this kind of monster is enough to prove that you are definitely not human, but since you know the meaning of what I am looking for, you should also know. At ordinary times, I cannot interfere with your actions, but at this moment, we All are 'equal'."

Even though he felt Roland's contemptuous attitude, Araya Soren didn't have any unnecessary emotions and still put on a poker face.

Just the act of standing in front of him made him understand the horror contained in the young man in front of him.

If it were normal, he would definitely conclude that the other party was Gaia's tentacle, a blocker of restraint, and he would be overjoyed that his path was correct.

But the situation now is completely different. The progress of the two rituals is beyond imagination. Before the plan came, there were changes that he could not understand. The existence that he had dreamed about for a long time also appeared tonight. .

Araya Soren knew very well that he would die if he stood in front of Roland, and even his behavior itself might be part of the restraint force's calculations, but at this moment, he and the restraint force were on the same front.

——{She} should not receive any unnecessary interference.

Even for her own plans, Araya Soren could not let anyone come into contact with her, including herself.

Otherwise, even if he can survive death, it will be meaningless if the path he is pursuing is shattered.

"Equal? ​​From your point of view, maybe it is?... But unfortunately, I am not in the sequence."

The call from fate even urged his heart to vibrate like a fierce drum.

Roland was extremely convinced that the next encounter was one of the fundamental reasons why he came to Guanbuzi City due to the heavenly revelation given by the black energy.

He took a step forward and suddenly looked at Yingman's real name next to him.

"Although I haven't fully understood it yet, Master seems to have made up his mind. In that case, just go ahead and do it... No matter what kind of obstacles there are, I will clear them for you."

After seeing Roland's gaze, Yingman's soft arms wrapped around her again.

With a warm and soft touch, the girl's body fragrance surrounded Roland's nose, and warm whispers sounded in his ears.

Because it was too close, a few strands of pink hair were still brushing against Roland's face, bringing a teasing and itchy touch to his face.

"My lovely Eve, I leave it to you."

Roland showed a sincere smile and walked forward again.

"Don't let this annoying bug cause any unnecessary noise. I want you to make this your first priority, even more than killing the other party."

"Wow..." Yingman nodded obediently, staring at Roland's crimson eyes full of resentment.

"Every time I ask people to do troublesome things, I am willing to say such coaxing words of love." Although she was complaining, Yingman's pretty face was quickly covered with blush. "But it still makes people feel very sad." Just be happy.”

Yingman Zhenna took the initiative to let go of his hand and looked at the waiting monks. Even if there was a requirement not to make too much noise, it was indeed enough to deal with Araya Soren.

The moment she cast her gaze, the monk's face, which had never changed for thousands of years, finally showed a warning look.

After knowing that the opponent's first goal was not to kill him, the feeling of being faced with a formidable enemy became even deeper.

Obviously, no matter who you let look at it before, they would only think that it was just an ordinary girl acting coquettishly towards her lover, but when those bright red pupils like jewels looked over, they could personally feel the instinctive oppression of wanting to kneel down. feel.

Yingman's real name will only show the appearance of an ordinary girl in front of Roland, that is, all the soft parts with human characteristics in this memory. Her specific personality and emotions are only formed around Roland. Only when facing others will she show her true face, that is, the Queen of Viruses, with the cold and cruel will of Eve who leads the new century.

The next moment, Ying Man's true name came to Araya Munren. From her hand, dazzling crystal flowers kept blooming. When it was completely broken, what appeared in her hand was an unusually winding and elegant flower. Gorgeous chainsaw.

It has the shape of a long sword, but the tip of the sword is a sharp oval chain, and the handle of the sword is like a devil's purple wings. The intersection of the chain is made of iron gray and dull gold. It consists of a pupil-like pupil in the center, with vertical lines that open and close with shimmering light.

"Sure——!"

In the past two hundred years of experience, taijutsu was definitely a specialty that Araya Soren could be proud of. However, in the face of an attack that completely exceeded his own nerve reflexes, he only had time to stretch out his hand and let the golden Arc lines suddenly shot out of his body and enveloped him.

"Bang——!"

But before Yingman's real name slashed the void chainsaw at will, even with the protection of the barrier, the most direct damage was still transmitted to Araya Soren under the cutting of the chainsaw chain and the attack containing incomparable brute force. It has been transformed with technology many times and has been tempered thousands of times.

Broken ribs, damaged internal organs, and injuries to his right hand...

"cough……"

Araya Soren, who was pushed back a few steps in embarrassment, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the expression on his face became more solemn. He saw that he had just summoned the barrier to block the chainsaw, and the result was that his flesh and blood were blurred, and his bones were white. With his right hand exposed, he glanced at Roland's back as he walked further away, and sighed silently.

The power contained in the chainsaw can cut through anything like the barrier. It is the opponent he least wants to encounter. Originally, he wanted to use the enlarged barrier to completely block the way, but now it seems that the abnormal factor can be prevented. It was hopeless and it was time to prepare for survival.

"Huhu... wasn't it cut off? But it didn't let the power spread to unnecessary places."

Seeing this scene, the smile on Yingman's real name's face became even brighter. She waved the void chainsaw in her hand casually a few times, looking very satisfied.

Compared with the more powerful holy sword, this special weapon is more suitable for the current scene. Even the tough and invisible barrier will suffer in the face of this rotating cutting.

"This is just right. If you make too much noise, you won't be able to complete the master's mission. This weapon is just right. Next."

The girl whispered, smiling dangerously at the depressed monk.

"——Just use this to chop off your head."
